The current parish church of Oltingue was built between 1827 and 1831 in late classicist style. Striking features include the triangular pediment above the round-arched portal and the Callinet organ from 1843, which is still in use. Together with the presbytery and the former school, the church forms a well-preserved village ensemble from the Louis-Philippe period. The church replaced an older mother church outside the village.

Le Moulin Bas is a former grain mill and sawmill with roots dating back to at least 1592. The current buildings date partly from the 19th century, but also incorporate older features, including a pediment bearing the date 1604. The mill was water-powered and remained active until after the First World War, when it was converted into a sawmill. Inside, the original cogs, beffroi and bore of the water wheel are still visible – now integrated into the dining room of the restaurant that now occupies the premises.

Baroque village church with an abbey altar The current church of Ligsdorf was built in 1765, replacing an older church on a hill outside the village that had burned down in the 15th century. The new church was placed centrally in the village and is a fine example of baroque village architecture in the Sundgau. A special feature is the maître-autel, originating from the abbey church of Masevaux, with statues of Saint Léger, Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The church is dedicated to Saint George, the dragon slayer. The facade also features the village war memorial, which was only installed in 1994.
